This freedom of action and pliability in the foot
are interfered with by the stiffness of heavy shoes
and the pressure of foot wear not made to fit the

ventional shape elavil amitriptyline of a last.
An examination of an adult, where shoes have
been elavil for worn since infancy, shows usually many varia-
tions from the normal standard. There is almost in-
variably an impairment in the motion of the meta-
tarsophalangeal joints, especially the first. There is

usually also a loss or impairment of movement in
the first metatarsocuneiform articulation, or a lim-
itation of the power of voluntary spread and arch-
ing of the foot. In addition to this there is a rela-
tive muscular weakness of the muscles of the sole of
the foot, including those attached to the first meta-
tarsal (correspondingly to the volar muscles of the
thumb), and in consequence of this often the de-
velopment of a weak and flat foot and the lack of
strength in the movement of the toes.
^lisplaced position of the heads of the metatarsals
in relation to elavil 10mg the transverse axis of the front of the
foot often result from boots that are thin in the
waist and narrow in the shank.
A distorted position of the smaller toes either con-
fined to one toe or affecting many similarly, is not
uncommon on the wearing of shoes which check the
natural spread of the front of the foot. The first elavil for anxiety pha-
lanx is flexed dorsally upon the metatarsus, while
the second and third are contracted in a position of
plantar flexion.

as great as that of the fingers, the arc of the motion
at the metatarsophalangeal joints is limited to a few
degrees.
The amount of the damage to the strength and
ease in walking inflicted in this way is greater than
is sur>DOsed, and can only be estimated by a compari-
son of the walking efficiency of shoeless and shoe-
wearing races.
The most conspicuous illustration of the superi-
ority of the barefoot races in this respect was afford-
ed in the campaign in Abyssinia. The elavil 25 mg marked su-
periority in agility and fleetness of the barefooted
Abyssinian was evident. This elavil buy has also been seen
wherever the shoeless are matched in marching
against shoe wearing people. Many of the United
States officers have found moccasins and the train-
ing necessary to wear moccasins with comfort a help

The plantar flexion of the toes is an action needed
in the backward push of the front of elavil used for the foot, elavil 25mg at
the end of the stride. The strength of this effort
depends on the muscular strength of the muscles
governing this motion as well as the freedom of this
motion.
Where, as is usually the case among shoe-wearing
people, elavil 50 mg this action is not so strong as among the
barefooted, a greater amount of work in the back-
ward push of the foot comes at the ankle joint, the
calf muscles becomes developed, and the muscles buy elavil online in
the sole elavil 10 of the feet are small. It is commonly seen
among elavil 50mg barefooted peoples not subjected to great de-
mands in the way of climbing or hill work that their
feet muscles are large and their calf muscles small, cheap elavil
the reverse being true of shoe-wearing people. The
normal condition is well seen in the Japanese jin-
riksha runners, who have well muscled legs and feet.
This disability, due to an impairment of the
strength and freedom of motion of the metatarso-
phalangeal articulation, is increased if the great toe
is distorted from its normal position in the line of
the axis of the foot and is turned outward, present-
